Links of Lake Bernadette
About
The Links of Lake Bernadette enjoys verdant landscaping and a rolling terrain that are perfectly complemented by mature and towering pines. At 6,400 yards, the golf course is seemingly short but it feels like it plays much longer due to frequent doglegs that can be found throughout. Six of the par 4s play over 400 yards and a few par 3s measure over 200 yards, which also helps the course feel longer. Water hazards and bunkers come into play but they are balanced by large greens and wide fairways that make for easier approaches. Although beginners won't feel out of place and there are four different sets of tees, the golf course boasts several tricky holes that will challenge even the best players. One of these, the 163-yard 13th, was once called the best par 3 in Tampa Bay.

have played here many times in the past. some of the greens were in pretty bad shape, lack of rain. but for the most part it was in pretty good shape.
Not good
Tees and fairways were very dry due to lack of rain but the greens were terrible. Bald spots all over and very bumpy. It was more or less a cow pasture. I like the layout of the course but needs some sserious TLC
Great value
Greens need a lot of work. Carts were great and nice layout.
BC 5 7 26
Unfortunately the course is in very poor condition due to the drought. I was told they are going to replace the greensand tee boxes in July/August. Both need it. There are a few greens that are ok, but many more that are poor or worse. The layout continued to be a good one. Suggest you call about conditions before you make a tee ti.e. sorry, Links of Lake Bernadette. But I am always honest in my reviews. Hope to see you in the fall.
Hot n Dry at Bernadette
I like the course, it’s a great set up and always throws a challenge at you.
The weather has not been nice though. Tee boxes and some fairways are suffering from the lack of rain. Hopefully the summer rains fix it.
Let down
Poor course conditions. Felt like I was playing on a 4x4 track. Greens were horrible.
Putting green surface in bad shape
The putting greens were in very bad shape on the front 9. I did not play rhe back 9 due to a group of 3 decided to start theor round on the back 9 instead of the front.
Worst i have ever seen
Nothing was in good shape at all. Greens were absolutely awful and worse I have ever played.
Greens are terrible
This course needs a big change. Not well maintainace. The greens were so bad, many dead spots... we coulnt putt, had to pick up the ball and go.
Dont recommend.
Need help
Tee boxes,greens need a lot of work...nothing worse than playing golf and the greens are unplayable...please fix the greens and i will come back with guests..but not at this time.
So much potential
Staff are always really nice. The layout it fun. I’ve been playing here 2-4 times a year for the past 5-7 years and it seems like the groundskeepers just can’t get things going. Normally always wet, greens are normally very slow, and the bunkers are normally not well kept. It’s the closest one to my house so I’d love for it to thrive. Also no driving range .
course
greens are unusable inputtable we were told repairs are on the way looking forward to it
